Ans: According to the author, some argue that federal systems fit in well in countries with capitalist economic systems because both people and businesses have the capacity to move and local governments must compete to keep people and jobs within their borders. Local governments need businesses to pay taxes or to provide jobs to those who will pay taxes. Competition forces these local governments to optimize the business environments of their jurisdictions in one way or another. This might mean maximizing the education system or minimizing regulations. It could mean keeping taxes as low as possible by being very stingy in the benefits given to citizens--that is, spending little on welfare, education, health care, and so on. This variety of ways of competing for wealthy private and corporate citizens can create niches for many different kinds of business, creating a diverse and healthy economy across the nation.
